We ordered their kebab (Bakhtiari) which was amazing! The meat and chicken came very tinder and freshly grilled. The rice was so fluffy and well done as well. We also tried their saffron ice cream which was amazing as well (see picture) and they put rose water in it. Service was excellent and fast; you don’t have to ask the server twice for one thing (unlike other places). The table and chairs were high quality and comfy. Definitely recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Very good Middle Eastern food. Food here is good but underrated Kebabs are highly recommend. Atmosphere really really need upgrade but it doesn’t mean you can’t dine there. Staff are so friendly and warm. Management is a very nice pal and running this restaurant for over the 30 years. I try to go back once a month. It’s a cozy spot and wish they renovate the place.

I don’t have a good Persian spot in my hometown so when we travel, we hit them up. We ate lunch here today and it was one the best Persian meals I have ever had! The tadiq with fesenjun was incredible as well as the barg, Ada’s polo, fresh made baklava and homemade tea recipe. If you are Persian or simply enjoy fine Persian cuisine, this is a MUST STOP! If I could 10 stars. I would!!!

We came from LA and we were looking for somewhere for lunch . And finally found this place. Wonderful present us. They were super nice and friendly. The food was warm and fresh, even they asked us if we don't like that we can change it to something else but I said of course No, Kaveh and Shahram God bless you and your business. آدم های مشتی و باحال با غذای های خوب

I always wanted to check out this restaurant. The staff was very cheerful and attentive. The decor is minimal but the food talks out loud. We got the loobia polo and the pomegranate-walnut curry with chicken. It was amazing. The chicken was tender and the curry was tangy and rich. I have never had a walnut based curry before. The portions are huge so you can make two meals at least out of the entrees.

Loved it! Coming from Toronto, Canada, with so many different Iranian restaurants, I didn't expect to find such wonderful Iranian food in Seattle. Even better than a few in Toronto. Everything we ordered was delicious and had an authentic Iranian taste. The service, food, and atmosphere were fantastic. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for excellent Iranian cuisine and desserts.

I have been looking to visit Persepolis Grill for years but finally visited recently and I regret not visiting sooner. I split an order of tadig with Geymeh Bademjan and the King's Choice platter that had a koobideh kabob, chicken kabob, and barg kabob. Persian food isn't well represented in Seattle, so I'm glad I was able to try some more here because it was delicious. The tadig was wonderfully crispy and the geymeh bedemjan added some nice acidity with the tomato based sauce. I was amazed by how tender and moist all three kabobs were. Most times I have koobideh, it's been dry, but theirs is so tender and flavorful. All kabobs were delicious but I loved the koobideh and the chicken kabobs. What will stick with me the most though was how nice one of the owners was. He really wanted to make sure we enjoyed the food and seemed genuinely pleased they we really loved it. I really appreciated his hospitality and the conversation we had. If I'm on the Eastside I'll also try to visit Bella Balducci's which is the same ownership. Until then, I hope to be back at Persepolis Grill very soon.

Amazing food! The yellow saffron ice cream blew my mind.

We were in town for the weekend from Vancouver, BC. We do have a lot of persian resturants here in Vancouver but we decided to try this restaurant in Seattle. Great food. Big portions and delicious. Kabob was amazing 👏. Definitely recommend to anyone who lives in Seattle or visiting.

The venue is nice and clean, it's our first time here and the food was quite delicious, great flavors and well grilled.

Not sure how to eat some of the appetizers, but for what you pay, the food quantity was quite large.

Pretty quiet and chill environment, the floor is extremely slippery though, please be careful while going to the bathroom the floor is not wet but whatever they are mopping with is making the floor extremely slippery, you all might want to stop that before someone gets hurt! Service was amazing, it is a nice family run restaurant and the portions of food were humongous. The food was very delicious we will certainly be back!
